Three months after the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese carried out a second air attack, also on Pearl Harbor. True or false?

It was an ATTEMPT, not a CARRIED OUT as the question asks attack! WRONG!

During the second attack the Japanese used flying boats in a mission called “Operation K”. Two of such boats flew across the Pacific. The boats then stopped in the northwestern part of the Hawaiian islands to refuel by submarine. The crafts arrived over Oahu in the middle of the night. The intended target, Pearl Harbor, was damaged but still operational. One of the pilots flew over the Koolau mountains and dropped bombs over Tantalus in a very serious blunder. The impact of the second attack was minor but the changes that US made on their strategy was major. The impact of the second attack was minor but the changes that US made on their strategy was major. The explosion of the 550 pound bombs were so strong that the windows of nearby homes were shattered. The trees were also leveled leaving behind 20-30 foot craters in the forest. “About 2 in the morning I was rudely awoken by four bomb blasts,” said former Tantalus resident Alan Lloyd. Those who say that the attack never happened should have a talk with Alan Lloyd (if he is still around). In 1942 2 Japanese submarines (I 25 and I 26) launched several attacks on the Oregon and Washington coast, One by shelling the beach at fort Stevens, one by launching a sea plane and dropping incendiary bombs in the forest, and another by torpedoing and shelling a freighter. Fort Stevens did not return fire partly because they did not want to give away their position, (it was nighttime). An attack is an attack whether or not one responds directly.

I do not agree that I missed this answer!

Bad question, the only ones I get “wrong” it seems.

Wrong, this question should be corrected or removed.

It said true I said false.

iqassoc, Perhaps you should review questions if you think the reviewers are doing such a poor job.

Marian Spitzig, If it never happened, why is there an entire book written about it: "Second Attack on Pearl Harbor" by Steve Horn...?

This was not an attack as it did not happen.

The attack was not successful and therefore as a retired Naval Aviator officer I can tell you it would not be ruled an air attack

spg cool dude, The attack was unsuccessful and missed the target but, it was carried out none the less

The correct answer is FALSE as the attack was not carried out which the question claims.

When I read on the Arizona in Pearl Harbour .. “ This is where World War 2 began “ , I too thought..WRONG ! Try 1939..! Whereas really it’s just a different perspective . 🤪

Ah you are Wrong, where did you find this!!!

Darlene Davidson, The second attack on Pearl Harbor in March 4, 1942 was not like the first attack on December 7, 1941. Bombs rained on Tantalus, a short distance from where civilian institutions such as the Roosevelt High School was located. The first attack on a morning at end of the year 1941 on Pearl Harbor was massive.

Alan Lennox, Suggest you do some research.
